For 66 years, the first weekend in May has noted the Saratoga Rotary Art Show, historically the largest annual event in the city. This year’s show is scheduled for May 3 to 4, when the crowds of West Valley College will look at works by more than 125 artists. The co -presidents of the this year’s art fair, Sheeba Garg and Archana Vahalia, invite everything to “do shopping art, enjoy entertainment, interactive activities, food, wine, mimosas and beer while supporting local community projects”.
The product of the program supports local projects through subsidies granted by the Saratoga Rotary Carable Fund. The president of the SRCF, Terrie Creamer, says: “One of the reasons why I am proud to be Rotarian is an opportunity to give back to our communities. Not only do we give our time, but we have returned $ 1.5 million to non -profit organizations to do good work in our community. ”
The recipients of the grants are grateful. Pam Klaus of CarePoint Cancer says: “We are able to provide gas and grocery cards to some of our most vulnerable customers. These articles make a huge difference for those faced with the physical, emotional and financial challenges of cancer. ”
Anne-Marie Hong of Camp via West says: “Our SRCF grant has experienced a transformative camp for children and adults with developmental disorders and has an incredible impact on their lives.”
The Rotarian, former president of art exhibitions and watercolor artist Carol Woodard, said: “I was impressed by the quality of work and the appreciation of our audience for fine arts. Inspired by that, I decided to show my own work in the show again. ” Woodard will be in stand n ° 695.
“Our show is a victory for everyone,” said Rotary Club president Chuck Swan. “It’s a great way to spend the day with family and neighbors and enjoying art and entertainment knowing that each purchase helps our community.” www.saratrogarotary.org
